Hi
My crab was out of his shell because the one he was in was so small so I let him be and came back home hours later he was still out of his shell so I panicked and did some online reading and I put him in one of the shells I had in the tank.
Also I realized that there was a lot of water under the substrate and the tank smelled really bad like it was stagnant.
I cleaned the entire tank out dried it and replaced it with new substrate. The crab was loosing his color so I dipped him in water and few times a day and kept him near moss and yesterday he regained his color and looks great and I was so relieved. But tonight he has not moved at all, I don’t know if it’s because after a molt it takes time to gain strength back or he is dead ! (Also I know he molted because I found eskoskelten ) I been so emotional this entire time , I’m feeling really down and out and like it’s my fault . I been considering rehoming the other one I have because I think I killled this crab.
Anyone have feed back or support?
